Ingredients

Scale

For the Croissants:

  • 6 croissants (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter, melted (for brushing)
  • 1 tbsp powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)

For the Cream Filling:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

For the Berry Filling:

  • 1 cup fresh mixed berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries)
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar (optional, for extra sweetness)
  • 1 tsp lemon zest (optional, for freshness)

Instructions

 

1. Prepare the Cream Filling:

  • In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  • Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until combined.

2. Prepare the Berries:

  • Toss mixed berries with sugar and lemon zest (if using). Let sit for 5 minutes to release juices.

3. Fill the Croissants:

  • Slice each croissant in half lengthwise, but don’t cut all the way through.
  • Spread a generous layer of cream filling inside.
  • Spoon berries on top of the cream.

4. Warm & Serve:

  • Lightly brush croissants with melted butter and warm them in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5 minutes. (This step enhances the flavor!)
  • Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

  • For an extra indulgent touch, drizzle with honey, chocolate sauce, or raspberry coulis.
  • Make it ahead: Prepare the cream filling in advance and store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Want extra crunch? Add toasted almonds or crushed pistachios on top.
